אָכַל (ʾākal) is a Hebrew verb meaning eat. It appears 815 times in 38 books of the Hebrew Bible (Strong's H398).

Same Hebrew root (TWOT 85)

Root family 85: אַכַל ʾakal — eat, consume, devour, burn up, feed. (ASV and RSV are generally the same. One notable exception is found in Ps 27:2 where RSV has “slander” instead of “eat my flesh” in accordance with an Akkadian and Aramaic idiom, “to eat a piece of me” meaning “to slander me.”)
